Earlier, during a press conference outside the Legislative Assembly, the Leader of the Opposition questioned the Chief Minister’s silence regarding the killing of Dipu Das in Bangladesh. He further announced a one-hour border blockade on December 24 in protest of the murder, and that another demonstration will take place outside the Bangladesh High Commission on December 26.

In Delhi, Delhi State Haj Committee chairperson Kausar Jahan strongly condemned the killing, calling it "reprehensible and barbaric". She said minorities, particularly Hindus, were being targeted in Bangladesh and urged the government there to ensure their safety. Jahan also stressed that such violence could harm the traditionally friendly relations between India and Bangladesh
